Isn't every medicine a drug, since a drug with medical application in the right dose is just called medicine?

No.
Guess we have different definitions then. In the usage I got to know, every medicine (besides placebos and household remedies) are drugs. This was supposed to be a nitpick and a rhetorical question. Care to elaborate how your definition differs? Do you think yours is general for english/US?
